Looking to Master the Art of Chiropractic Billing, Coding & Documentation? Two Northwest Seminars Show You How!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 8, 2010 -- SEATTLE, WASHINGTON – Chiropractors in search of ways to maximize reimbursements, minimize audit risks and boost profitability have two upcoming chances to learn effective strategies from chiropractic’s only Certified Professional Auditor and Certified Professional Coder.

Dr. Tom Necela, “The Strategic Chiropractor,” has scheduled seminars in January in Seattle, WA & Portland, OR. This new seminar series, entitled “Chiropractic Billing, Coding & Documentation MASTERY!” is likely to draw capacity crowds, as Dr. Necela presents his unique perspective on how to effectively prepare your practice for upcoming changes.

“Tom is an expert at what he does and makes it simple for the rest of us,” said Dr. Eric Hansen of Redmond, WA.

Dr. Melinda Maxwell of Seattle, agrees.

“I would recommend all DCs attend one of Tom's classes,” she said. “They are necessary, practical and essential for a professional, compliant and meaningful practice. He is one of the rising stars of the profession.”

Necela is also is a former insurance claims analyst who brings his extensive experience to his teaching, ensuring that seminar attendees receive the most relevant and updated information to improve their chiropractic procedures and protocols.

“Unlike some billing or coding professionals who haven’t practiced in 10+ yrs – or at all - I teach practical billing, coding and documentation principles that enable them to increase their income, reduce audit risk and work smarter, not harder, towards a more robust business,” said Necela. “As a chiropractor myself, I know how other chiropractors think and what methods work best for them in light of everyday practice demands that many other trainers overlook.”

The Portland session takes place on January 14, 2010 at the Embassy Suites Portland Airport hotel, 7900 N.E. 82nd Ave. Seattle attendees will meet on January 16, 2010 at the Best Western River’s Edge, 15901 W. Valley Highway in Tukwila (less than 5 minutes from Sea-Tac airport).

Both seminars take place from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and count as six continuing education credits. The cost is $149 in advance for DCs and $179 at the door. Staff pricing is $49 in advance and $79 at the door if the DC is also present.

Seminar attendees will receive hands-on lessons in case coding, including actual examples of documentation do’s and don’ts. In addition, they will also learn about:
• The new audit targets for 2010 that can impact the bottom line
• Strategies to help chiropractors get paid better for what they do

• How to avoid mistakes that get claims delayed or denied
• Tips to achieve defensible coding and documentation
• How to avoid audit traps for Medicare and billing “red flags” that activate the insurance radar system
• Systems to create internal audits that improve compliance
• New code updates and clarifications for 2010
